Almost Done

by Meghann on November 26, 2008

It’s Wednesday! Yay!! Which means I have less then 6 hours of work until I am officially on Thanksgiving break! 🙂 Let’s hope those 6 hours go by quickly.

When I got up this morning and let Abbie out, I was soooo close to just crawling back in bed. If it was not for the fact that I already ate my pre work out snack, I would have happily gave in to my wishes. I used the snack as my motivation to get my booty moving and I am so glad I did.

I started my work out with a 20 minute run around my apartment complex (Bobbi I’m counting this as 2 miles for POTM 🙂 ) Then I started on my weekly Boot Camp routine which I discovered can easily be done in the tennis court of my complex.

Since I have made a few variations to my original routine I decided today’s a good day to repost it.

In the end it was a great work out and I was glad I didn’t crawl back in to bed. I think with my knowledge of my eating habits to come for the next few days, I should be taking advantage of every work out opportunity that I can.

Breakfast this morning was a fun change. Someone brought in bagels yesterday morning to share with everyone, so I snatched one up and saved it for breakfast. It was a huge Cinnamon Raisin Bagel and calorie wise I probably should have just ate half, but its just so hard not to eat the whole thing. 🙁

I covered one half with Smart Balance Butter and the other with Low Sugar Strawberry Preserves. I really enjoyed the bagel as a nice little treat.

With my bagel I had the other half of my Grapefruit and Orange from yesterday’s breakfast.

Wow I have been really distracted while writing this, I now only have 5 more hours of work left. Woo hoo!!

Way to stick with the workout!! I feel the same way – I want to squeeze in any little activity that I can in preparation for the splurges that are bound to happen this weekend!

I am so lame and I don’t know where in Florida we will be – my grandparents just moved there this year and we are staying near them. I have a feeling it isn’t close to Orlando, though 🙁 I WILL be enjoying your warmer weather and taking advantage of it for a nice run or two!

hey girl! first off, awesome motivation to work out this morning. go you!!! and second, i read in a previous post that you were looking for slow-churned pumpkin ice cream by edy’s. well, ive tried it and its divine! and only 100cals for a serving. yum! i hope you can find it somewhere. i would send it to you….but obviously it would melt lol. yay for today being the last day of work. woo!!

I think it sounds like a really great power-breakfast. One of my favorite breakfasts is PB & J & BANANA on a bagel. It keeps you full for hours! i think some people have negative connotations associated w/ bagels-but with the right choices, they can definitley be incorporated into a healthy diet. have a great day–happy wednesday meghann!
